New Pornographers Leak Release Date, Tracklisting

The indie super group expose details for Challengers, the follow up to 2005's Twin Cinema.

New Pornographers have announced the tracklisting and exact release date for Challengers, the title of the band’s fourth full-length album, now slated to drop Aug. 21 via Matador. The new effort, featuring “a little more instrumentation than we’ve really tried having before,” showcases songwriting courtesy of band principal Carl Newman and Dan Bejar, with nine and three tunes, respectively. Members Neko Case and Immaculate Machine’s Kathryn Calder also add vocals to the album, which includes “Failsafe,” “Go Places,” and “The Spirit of Giving” as well as “Unguided,” a song Newman claims as his “first true epic at over 6:30 in length.”
